Life Sciences(2021)
Abstract
•Autophagy is activated in TGF-β2-induced EMT in LECs.•Autophagy activation enhances TGF-β2-triggered fibrogenic responses in LECs.•Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy alleviates TGF-β2-induced EMT in LECs.•TGF-β/Smad signaling is involved in the modulation of autophagy on EMT in LECs.•ATG7 knockdown abrogates TGF-β2-induced EMT in LECs.
